Ken Barber took a picture of me.
Today me and some other TAIK students attended a workshop held by Ken Barber, type designer and letterer. Monograms was the topic of the day, so after a lecture on them we worked on our own versions based on our initials. I have done this assignment before, but I guess one can always try to approach it differently. And maybe I’ll get some monogrammed towels or something one day… err… not.
Ken had some design tips for us:
Draw… a lot!
Sketch small.
Avoid fussiness.
and a quote:
“If you improve your drawing skills, you will become a better designer. Period.”
